1. Buying several copies of the same record. You know, to mix with, or to have the import copy, or just to have...
2. Managing to buy a record every time you go to the shops, even if you only wanted a pint of milk.
3. Cataloguing your records alphabetically.
4. Not cataloguing your records, but somehow finding them with your sixth sense.
5. Getting a potent ecstatic rush when you finally track down that rare tune.
6. Not being able to listen to music whilst having sex, because you start thinking about the producer, remixer etc.
7. An unbearable urge to take over the decks at any party / chill out session/ major nightclub.
8. Looking through your friends record collections whenever you visit.
9. Conversations with your spotter mates that start off with the words: "heard any good tunes lately?"
10. Reading/Posting on music message boards at 3am when you should be doing work on an overnight shift.

6. Not being able to listen to music whilst having sex, because you start thinking about the producer, remixer etc.[/QB]i'm afraid i'm guilty of something like this. i painfully discovered a few years ago that i am not able to sustain an erection of any substance while listening to my own mix tapes when shagging graemlins/jpshakehead.gif .
also, to tell the truth, the only reason why i bought a CD-player a couple of years ago, was because the girls were getting fed up with my mid-shag and on-the-brink-withdrawal to segue in the next cut and keep that sh*t seamless :D .
but darling, i've changed. now it's opera and remote control all the way........
peace. ngeso.

I am broke at the moment, but the other day still spent £30 on records in a second hand junk shop...promising myself I'd sell the rare ones on ebay.
I know I never will.

Worst thing I ever did regarding records was when I was 17 (this was 14 years ago so give me some slack) I was low on cash and it was my sister's birthday. She liked house music so I thought, I'll buy her a house LP for a present. She liked it but of course two days later it was sitting in my collection.
How low can you go?

you plan an out-of-town trip and the first thing that springs into your mind is: where are the good local record stores (new/used), thift shops, & flea markets?
when you cleaned out a thrift shop a week ago but you go there anyway to see if there just happens to be something overlooked...
when a new neighborhood record store pops up and you make a date out of it....

When you go on a trip with some friends and you make sure that there are at least two non-dj's in your group to keep themselves busy while you and your dj-friends scour the record shops.
=> this is the exact summary of all my Berlin or London trips...

Taking your significant other out to dinner consists of going to Wendys because you just plucked down a $100
for dj promo 12inch of George Dukes "Brazillian Love Affair".
